Notes:
Korkki Nordic Center is a secluded trail just east of Duluth, consisting of a single-track classical trail. Wicked hills, flats, downs...it has everything. Trails were designed for racing and are recommended for those with at least intermediate to advanced classical skiing skills.

Nice afternoon ski. Tracks were solid and in good shape overall. A little worn closer to the parking lot, but the back loops were in fine shape. Some leafy debris in places, but wasn't too grabby. Snow should improve things even more, but it's hard to have a bad day at Korkki.

It was my first time skiing Korkki. The trails had plenty of snow, but the pine needles in the track were annoying since they were grabbing the grip wax. Tracks were fine as far depth and snow but were washed out on some climbs. It was really cool seeing some Duluth skiing history in the warming house.

A few leaves here and there, but great overall. I could feel the snow warming as I finished my ski.

Amazing morning of skiing at Kirkland. The woods are gorgeous in all the fresh snow. The trail has firmed up nicely in the subzero temps. A great way to start the new year!

Korkii was entirely open! What a beautiful day. The tracks were all set and skied in. A little soft, but with all that snow, that's alright. The kick was great and that downhills had soft landings for those times I didn't quite make the decent in one go. Quite a beautiful day to be out and they were busier than I had seen them before.
